Great night last night so I did as promised and shot four 5 minute exposures of M-87. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/m87-2011mar29.zip I'll be interested to see if 4 5' do better (or worse) at showing the jet than 20 1'. 'Couse I suppose some industrious person could put all 24 images together for a total 40 minutes of exposure time. patrick On 26 Mar 2011, at 15:40, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
Nice work Don.
Actually using Photoshop I was able to bring out a bit more detail: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/m87-f4.jpg
The jet looks a lot like the F-4s I worked on in Vietnam. :)
But seriously, now that I see what 20 one minute exposures will do I'm going to try 4 five minute exposures and see if there's any difference.

Patrick and Joe,
See http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4170&g2_imageViewsIndex=1. You can clearly see the jet. Thanks Patrick.
